... First day we headed up into the hills to do a bit of exploring. We made our way to the Shrine of the giant cedars – and they were giant for sure. We headed into the forest for a bit of a hike.

We went to this beautiful castle in the center of the city that was built by Lord Kato Kiyamasa hundreds of years ago. Most of it has been destroyed by fire or war so only part of the castle is original. The rest is a reconstruction. We saw a video of this and the craftsmanship is so detailed and so carefully ...
